Troubleshooting
Shoes feel stiff upon arrival.
Leather shoes often require a break-in period. Wear them for short periods initially and gradually increase wear time. You can also try using a leather conditioner to help soften the material.
Difficulty adjusting the ankle strap.
Ensure the strap is aligned correctly before fastening. If it feels too tight, loosen it slightly before securing. Over-tightening can cause discomfort and reduce flexibility.
Squeaking noise when walking.
This can sometimes occur due to friction between internal parts. Try inserting a powder (like talcum powder) into the shoe or under the insole, or check if the laces are rubbing against the tongue.

Care Instructions:
- Cleaning the Leather: Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away surface dirt. For tougher stains, a specialized leather cleaner can be applied sparingly with a clean cloth.
- Suede Accents (if applicable to specific variants): Use a suede brush to remove dirt and restore the nap. Avoid water on suede areas.

- Drying: If the shoes get wet, stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in their original box or a shoe bag to protect them from dust and maintain their shape.
